    • RE: Using Open-licence Windy station data in an app

      @Suty Thank you! I will make sure to clearly show the attribution everywhere you mentioned. To confirm the rest: the data stays inside the app. We don't expose it through an API of our own, we only fetch a station when a user actually opens it, so there's no background scanning of the network and no bulk history downloads.
      If a provider stops sharing or asks for deletion, we can delete their cached data on our side.

      Thanks for the quick and clear answer, that's everything I needed. Best, Nick

      @Suty said in Using Open-licence Windy station data in an app:

      Hello, if I understand this, you want to get our station data from our app, correct? If you do, I am afraid that this is not possible. We don't offer any station API to get these data from our end.

      Thanks for the answer. I mean this endpoint: https://stations.windy.com//api/v2/opendata/station/{id}/observation

      So for example curl -s "https://stations.windy.com/api/v2/opendata/station/f07a673e/observation"
      -H "windy-api-key: " that gives me a Davis Vantage Pro 2 in westkapelle

    • Using Open-licence Windy station data in an app

      Hi,
      I’m developing VeriSky, a weather app, and I’m interested in using the open-licence stations from the Windy Stations API to show observations alongside forecasts.
      The station data would simply be displayed in the app when a user views a location or select a station. I wouldn’t resell the data, expose it through another API or redistribute it.
      Before building this, I wanted to check a few things:

      • Is this kind of use allowed under the Open Data Licence?
      • For attribution, is showing the station name with a link to its Windy station page sufficient?
      • Are there rate limits or daily quotas for the Stations API?
        Is caching allowed, including keeping observations for longer than the 7 days returned by the API?

      Verisky is freemium, but viewing Windy station observations would be free. If that still requires a separate commercial agreement, let me know.
      Thanks!
